For the component output, the following output resolutions are

available: 1080i, 720p, 480p/576p and 480i/576i. Please refer to

the specification of your TV to find the best resolution to use.

Press the UP/DOWN ARROW buttons to select the desired output

resolution, then press the ENTER button. The player will apply the

selected output resolution and ask you to confirm the selection.

If your TV supports the selected resolution, you will see a dialog

box with a countdown clock. Use the LEFT ARROW button to

highlight the “OK” option and press the ENTER button to save

the resolution setting. If your TV does not support the selected

resolution, you may see a black screen or an error message. In

this case please wait for 15 seconds and the Easy Setup screen will

reappear. Select a different resolution that your TV can support.
Note
• In case you are not able to get a picture using the HDMI or

component output, please connect the player to the TV using the
composite video output, and then use the Setup Menu to adjust
the player settings.

• Video up-conversion over the component output is only available

for unencrypted discs such as home video and consumer-created
contents. Most commercially pressed DVD discs are CSS-encrypted
and will be limited to 480i/480p resolution. This restriction
applies to the component output only. The HDMI output is
protected with HDCP and has no such restriction.

Determine the Display Aspect Ratio

The aspect ratio is the proportional ratio of a TV screen’s width

and height. Older television sets generally have a 4:3 aspect ratio

– the width is 4/3 (or 1.33) times the height. Newer wide screen

television sets have a 16:9 aspect ratio – the width is 16/9 (or

1.78) times the height. For best performance, the video output

of your player needs to match the screen aspect ratio of your TV.

Since almost all Blu-ray Discs and many DVD discs are released in

the wide screen format, it is highly recommended that you use a

wide screen TV with the player.
The Aspect Ratio selections are 4:3 Letterbox, 4:3 Pan & Scan,

16:9 Wide, and 16:9 Wide/Auto. Depending on your selection

and the video format recorded on the discs, image appearance on

the TV screen can be one of the following:
